+mbse@seaport$ cd ~/bin
+mbse@seaport:~bin$ ln -s rundoor.sh ilord
+
+See also inside rundoor.sh for the instructions. This file does +several things, first it prepares the users home directory with the dosemu +environment so that dosemu will run for the user. Then it creates a node +directory in the dos C: drive and copies the door dropfiles into that node +directory.
